The Size of Heaven

...But the last time, I remembered there was so much more

I can sense the melancholy and excitement in the air

I can feel the jealousy and the incitement that was once fair

I can see the tears of others, rolling down the cheek

The curriculum for saying "goodbye" never seemed so meek

I remember holding hands a little more tightly

I remember the cups weren't filled so lightly

For every sunset on the beach, there is a sunrise in reach

There are lessons in life that people wish they were able to teach

There is change, love, hate and moving on

I can taste the flavor of peace and it is so strong

I can hear angels sing because they know the demons are hurt

I can smell our hearts and they all like to flirt

Too many of us go a separate way

The size of heaven stretches, so it's OK

Whether we fall asleep to a lullaby or in complete silence

We can still dream that we have made a world full of less violence

We could all use more "hellos" and smiles

We could all use a little more heaven, even though it stretches for miles.
